<p>This paper studies Chinese coercive diplomacy by first analyzing the South China Sea (SCS) issue from the perspective of China national interest which has Belt &amp; Road Initiatives (BRI) political agenda (formerly known as OBOR).

This paper is expected to be one of the studies about South China Sea which can see BRI more in the opportunities it brings</p>
